Eriatarka - The Mars Volta piano cover

[JoshDec7]

I would love it so much if you could give me sheet music for this or ANY Mars Volta if you have it. Thanks

[RobotWiWi]

Do you have any sheet music for this? Or could you make a tutorial? Please and thank you. c: This is my favorite song by The Mars Volta, and it's my favorite of all of your covers. :)

[psystar420]

thank you! so awesome. can you cover some tooltracks? they ve all been banned from europe



[emavalens24]

@DrunkRock83

I agree, if SOAD had a whole orchestra tribute, why not?! The mars volta rocks

[MysticoDrums]

FUCK MOZART!!!!!!!!!

[gtralisfr69]

Do you have the sheet music written out?

[Erc888]

Awwwesome !!

[iamweapon]

Do you have the sheet music for this?



[TheBoyWhoWonders]

I wonder: How can the piano come so close to Credric's voice? Awesome!

[toothandtiger]

Eriatarka is one of my favourite songs by the mars volta. When I clicked this video I was thinking like: "This will be huge crap. This song won't work on the piano." Now, after listening several times to this version, I am really ashamed of myself for thinking that way. By far the best cover I have ever seen on youtube!

[XxstoopidmonkayxX]

Soemone should really show this to Cedric, Omar, and the guys. This was awsome.

[ameyalla]

the best playing is by the piano, their sound i better and clear

[QraQrJaq]

how can 8 people thumbs down????? this was done amazingly, and there is dissonace, the people arguing otherwise must not quite know what that means

[itsrainingcopcars]

oh my god this is beautiful!

[kittybubbles85]

Amazing! without a doubt my favourite song.

[Reptilico]

wow

[bambossal]

Beautiful, nothing more, nothing less :)

[IndiaBlackAle66]

Realize you can sell this? I'm playing this in my car. Awesome, awesome job. Thank you thank you thank you.

[Raidkaali]

why so much octabass?

[mudkipz9]

did you do this by ear?

[Seagerash]

this could easily be a classical piece. superb job man

[hoarsepants]

excellent brotha

[beethovenboy]

Nice, mang.

[captaincrabs]

this vid really shows the genius of the original artist. nice work man

[sebbster2000]

holy shit, i can't believe how good this song

[michael102387]

Loved it, but mistakes were made. It's hard substituting the guitar in some how, because there are no bends. Would be sweet though if you did. Ha ha. Get a pedal run a key board through it. And there you have it. A bend. With a piano. Check out the ones from digi tech. You could just look at one of videos.

[h879xx]

@michael102387 "mistakes were made" I look forward to seeing your attempt...

[MightyMorphinMark]

lthere can be harmony and dissonance at once. Dissonance is used to describe harmonies al the time, ESPECIALLY from TMV. Omar's rather well-known for his use of dissonance.

[gcubeiscool]

it isn't dissonant it just uses a lot of minor chords

[blackice1029]

<333

[duranjay]

who the actual fuck are the 8 people that disliked this? did your hand slip? are you boss eyed? this is incredible, beyond words. well fucking done!

[1000rtodd]

@duranjay If I read one more comment about the dislike comment im going to scream

[GusJohnsonGotTheKey]

i hope your getting money for this. Eat your heart out string tribute

[GusJohnsonGotTheKey]

i hope your getting money for this

[reyl]

Nice! btw...i can see your face ;D(Y)

[ckuba316]

Beautiful.  Mars Volta music transposes to the piano brilliantly...

[AFlyingBeagle127]

So gorgeous...

[postalfreeek]

please make a cover of Conjugal Burns

[Spiralminds]

I'm making my mobile ringtone with this tune! Gosh!

[magenticka]

fuck me this is good! 

[blackmurcery]

perfect

[christiaaanC7]

beautiful...just beautiful

[RibbidBrick]

most people are wondering how this got pulled off before they actually watch the video.. and afterwords their still wondering how its so beautiful

[anautumnprayer]

Absolutely Gorgeous.

[ParanoidDog]

I don't know why this is the most listened to song by thumphrey05 but he's encamptured something that mars volta missed and it's so empowering!!! thank you to all of you and please, please make more music even if the haters are strong!!!! i've listened to both of you for many years and love you both! FREE MUSIC FOREVER!!!

[limescout]

That's AWESOME! No one would realize how dissonant and weird the original is if they heard your beautiful cover.

[1000rtodd]

@limescout there is nothing dissonant about the original. and youre the weirdo for thinking so

[limescout]

@1000rtodd Depends on your point of view. I think it sounds dissonant and weird (in an interesting way).

[keitaro21]

@1000rtodd yes it is dissonant ! Omar use triton to make it sound deeper and tortured

[1000rtodd]

@keitaro21 maybe it sounds dissonant to you, but at no point do I fail to hear harmony while listening to the mars volta. =)

[keitaro21]

@1000rtodd of course, when i say dissonant it's not like it's hard to listen, out of tune or something like that, it's just because the notes are dissonant regarding to the musical theory.

[SpaceAndrew]

This is the kind of song I want to learn so I can whip it out when I'm at some girl's house and I'm like "Oh, you have a piano? May I play it?" And then afterwards, be like "Hey, what can I say? It's a work in progress."

[yockinnottou]

genius..



[albayaom]

this is fuckin incredible. best youtube cover i have ever seen of any song. You are a god.

[chiguy416]

Wow, after 2 weeks and after about 200 times going back and forth from my piano to this video, I finally learned to play this song. The rythm is VERY Complex, but i managed to play it mostly the same till the end, even though I left out some minor parts. Your a brilliant pianist and it was a real challenge to learn!

[flea288]

Love this, bueaitfully played, executed the guitar line perfectly, which is one of my favourite pieces of Omars, including his works from at the drive-in

[Cal6009]

Dude, Leet skills

I have just started dabbling with keyboard and you have made me profoundly doubt my abilities

Kudos

[leakeg]

There's something about the piano. It's pure.

There's no studio trickery here. Only music.

[glittergurrl123]

This is awesome. I want to have a mars volta song played at my wedding. can you put onto sheet music??

[Lateralus63]

@glittergurrl123 Fuck that, I want this played at my funeral!

[YaHozna1]

Amazing. That is all.

[SHJunkie89]

Jimmymcmoo who the fuck calls The Mars Volta just noise? The Mars Volta is at a level a music that no one else can touch...that's how talented The Mars Volta is.

If what you said is true they need to be educated. You wanna know what genre of music is just noise...? "Deathcore" Shits all pig squeals and pterodactyl screams.

That my friend is just noise. 

[jimmymcmoo]

For those who think that the mars volta are JUST noise.... This does them justice! Translated to piano one can hear the epicness the story that some can't appreciate from the bands own version

[SHJunkie89]

dude this is beautiful. i cried listening to this on piano. Thank you so much :)

[Ribqalicious]

Oh I love it! I feel so sad right now... but it was really good!

[marleynowomannocry]

this is far beyond awesome my friend! you translated it so well.

[cruzdrum]

i dont kow about anyone else but this kinda makes me cry ,esp. becuase of what the album is about

[theand123]

HOLY DICKS

This is amazing, thank you so much!

BEAUTIFUL

[jynx1233]

If there was any way you could write out the sheet music for this I would be forever grateful<3. this is beautiful and you are truly talented.

[PuddingPloppers]

This is brilliance in piano form. I only heard one mistake :)

[fusedea]

Awesome! but no reggae section

[aaronilai]

Amazing how the vocals have such a power beeing just notes!

[nagash89]

you are genious!!! amazing work!

[Oashisu]

Amazing. Simply beautiful

[KSzabo]

wow  !

[HylianGuard]

And another young artist writes history!

[HipHopInMyBlood]

Bellisimo.

[ConnorShawMusic]

tmv would be proud though!!! good job man

[johnorey]

oh my god

[Lateralus63]

Dont forget it was Cedric Bixler-Zavala who came up with the brilliant vocal melody.

[zrouth]

@Lateralus63 yea but cedric would be nothing without Omar. Omar writes almost all the volta stuff, the other guys just add their 2 cents.

[Theblob516]

@zrouth Partly true, but if you saw them live you would understand how much improvisation goes on and how tight they really are as a band

[thestormlscoming]

you are crazy good

[wilko61386alex]

Well done. This is something to be admired.

[perliva]

thank you!

[gigill68]

Can you pretty please with sugar on top write out sheet music for these?

It's simply stellar. (=

[BBobFrankk]

Please!

[aceindahole]

wow man this is really impressive. and i don't get impressed easily at all.

[JAYandCNAshow]

can you write the music out for this?

its great

[dacrazy07]

i wish there were sheets but learning by ear cant be all that hard

[ryz1001]

I love this! It shows what the Volta are about with Omar's compositional ways and the band's general musicianship and emotion.

[1000rtodd]

word... try and do this with a nickelback song and I'd bet it would fall fucking flat

[TheWookieefoot]

Fucking beautiful... This needs a million + views.

[mrJonnyBruno]

5 stars ;)

[geemoney3333333]

I cannot believe how beautiful this is when translated to piano. It shows The Mars Voltas brilliance. Kudos to this guy for capturing this so perfectly.

[entertheredfox]

I think i am in love.

[GMnofxpx182]

God bless the internet for allowing me the priviledge to see something like this.

[TheMarsmuzik]

I've always said that piano players had something special...something different about them. Amazing stuff!! All your covers are pieces of art in their own right. thanks

[0Korea0and0Quills0]

damn man your a beast with those salad fingers ! i bet you can hold a cup with one finger !

[cjt103088]

;_; This brought a tear to my eye...epic!

[StoneColdSergio]

this my good sir, deserves a subscription.

fucking amazing performance, brother. you did this justice.

[prezil17]

absolutely incredible my friend.

[joeyface]

spot fucking on

[jetleighchan]

this is so beautiful. you should do tutorials!

[smergyy]

like translating a language is more of an art than anything, i say the same goes for this. you truly have a great ear for the piano

[acidpsychedelia69]

I think I've commented on this before, but this video never stops amazing me. Thank you for letting others take part in what can only be described as pure art. talent, brilliancy and beauty.

[thestormlscoming]

i already love you for doing such an amazing cover, but i will love you even more if you could please send me the sheet music in anyway, idk if you did they by ear or wrote it down or whatever...i wish i had that skill

[Condy247]

good job man, sounds pretty correct and precise all around.

[aylesburyapeboy]

I really hope the band have seen this video. This is my favourite Mars Volta song of all time, sounding amazing.

[keano1878]

this is seriously fucking amazing

thanks a lot!

[dwood20855]

really beautiful man thank you for this

[SLiMxShANuS]

amazing!!!

[moe7719]

If you do a cover for Son Et Lumiere...Omg that would be amazingg<33

You do a good job! :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

[flearulz]

[candyman21xx]

how do you decide what songs to cover?

[jsung8070]

i would assume just ones that sound good

[jsung8070]

dont wanna sound winey - but any chance of a sheet for this? thiking about learning to play this by looking at what you do through my iPod is quite demotivating -.-

[candyman21xx]

oh god, you are so fucking whiney, you whiner. you want some cheese with your whine?

[jsung8070]

lol thumbs up - good taking advantage of an opportunity rofl.

[annihilator108]

I like the song Eriatarka.When you played it on the piano it sounded pretty awesome.

[candyman21xx]

How about this video though? It's pretty good too huh?

[Jagstaldincola]

I also like the song Eriatarka. When he playd it on the piano i also thought it sounded quite awesome.

[mjxtampon]

awesome. i love it!!

[thirdeyeeleven]

This is still probably my favorite of yours despite my love for Tool. This particular song translates SO WELL on piano. Really well done Tyler.

[TheFireTongue]

This is beautiful.

[willylacey]

Amazing!

[meetmeatthe1]

Stopping by again man. Never get tired of this. Love it!

[RogerGilmour08]

holy shit. i wanna make love to your piano playing. twice!

[meuse64]

this is fucking sick! Such a good song to cover! I love The Mars Volta xlife!!

[xtremehardy388]

Wow, you're awesome!!! Thanks for posting such a pretty version

[JoeLerum]

when you put it on piano it sounds like it'd be in a epic sound track in some huge movie or something

[ChloeIsabella00]

absolutely breath taking.

[acidpsychedelia69]

Talents like yours are proof of true beauty in this world. Stay strong! Peace

[sneakypirate]

fucking sick!

[Benjaminharris]

there's so many levels to those songs, they work in any kind of form.

[gnmris890617]

contact ma friend cedric and join the band!!!!!

[musicalkayla16]

This is beyond amazing!

[NZskater32]

Greatest style ever bro keep it up.

[NaturallyNutritous07]

i put it on my ipod :]

[davisconn32]

How do you do that?

[rhettdahl]

iv never been so amazed by a pianist.

5star

[Hamham11]

dude.....

[yankeegmen90]

pretty amazing how their songs transition so well to piano. this is my favorite from de-loused.

[xxonewingedangxl]

2:20 to 2:30..oh my fucking god

[Cruso555]

you sir and your piano skills are truly remarkable you gain all my kudos!

[jmmatos23]

This is pure beauty/skills! totally amazing! BTW That intro wasn't necesary IMO.

[secoif]

In my opinion too.

[MurderTrainAComin]

The intro goes up and down like UP-one-two-three DOWN-one-two-three, DOWN-one-two-three, then up one more. In this he just hits the same chord over and over. So yeah, not too necessary.

[jmmatos23]

Yeah, I'm a drummer and even I can do it. Haha :)

[HabemusFR]

Thank you, SIR !

[freakcoda]

Almost cried at 3:10

[DanRules066]

FAG!

[thebossierkid0808]

You are the greatest pianist in the world. Do me. (no homo)

[asdffdsa9]

Nope... That would be homo....

[Lateralus63]

Despite the mind sprawling complexity of Tetragrammaton (Ampectecture in general) or the jam feel of Frances the Mute, Eriatarka remains my favourite Mars Volta track and your version of it has really just swept me off my feet.

[blankcanvas0]

Awesome.

I would love to throw this piano cover

on a cd...

[Jerico998]

This is my favorite song ever it almost makes me cry whenever i here it so this was just mind-bottleingly beautiful and touching

[thebossierkid0808]

You're a moron.

[sergio0011]

Utterly amazing talent you have. Excellent job! -_o

[bklyntechdancer]

my favorite mars volta song..on piano

you did an amazing job kid

just beautiful

[themostconsumed]

you just blew my mind. well done man

[RobotGalvatron]

this is sooooo cool!

thank you for sharing this.

[DoubleBassAlejo]

Please please please write out the sheet music if you don't have it. I know it will be a lot of work...but dude I have to learn this

[AdamINAmsterdam]

Gotta echo everyone's support: your vids are excellent, and I'm blown away by you ability to transpose Volta songs to the ivory keys.

FANTASTIC! PLEEEASE keep up the good work ( & adopt s'more Volta songs :~)) and an extra thanks for posting them to Megaupload!
